New Kate

Yesterday, I made a purchase at Kate Spade on Oak Street. I've been looking for a casual, yet lady-like bag where I can take on the "L" and not worry about getting mugged. This seemed like the perfect option from Kate Spade. It's big enough to hold all my essentials and the right color for all seasons and outfits. It doesn't have a bow on it, but that's usually already somewhere on my outfit. I'll post an outfit picture with it soon.

I also purchased my tickets for Lollapalooza this year. I will be attending all 3 days this year! I'm so excited for another year of Chicago's summer music festival. :)

23.

I am officially 23! My birthday weekend was such a blast spent with my friends and family. On Friday, I had my birthday dinner at Fiorentino's Cucina Italiana and my party at Parliament Chicago. My birthday weekend just so happens to be on St. Patrick's Day weekend so I found it appropriate to go to an Irish pub(The Abbey) for the countdown of my birthday Saturday night. There was plenty of Irish music and dancing. My actual birthday was spent with my family. We all went to Giordano's and had cake back at my house. This year will be filled with lots of exciting things for me: Paris, New York, Pilates Certification, running a half-marathon and living the city life. Thank you to everyone who celebrated and sent me birthday wishes!! It made me smile even more than I already do. :)

Happy March!

It's finally my favorite month of the year: my birthday month! This month started with taking a trip to Montana with Sylvia. We visited our cousin, Robert who plays in a hockey league there. It's a long way from Chicago so we enjoyed spending time together and watching him play. Montana is a beautiful, relaxing state.

While the weather is cold, try to add a pop of color in your shoes. ;)
